Thank you so much for this challenge. My goal was to lose 4 pounds. I exceeded my goal, I have lost 7 pounds. I haven't had any soda all month and no longer crave it. Except for 1 cheat day I haven't had any fast food. I have cut out almost all white carbs from my meals. Lesson learned: scheduling workouts is the way to…

Wow that was a great video. Thanks for posting!

1. I have lost 4 pounds since Aug 1st 2. I have used 2 of my cheat day already and I have one more I'm using tomorrow. 3. The most difficult has been keeping up with working out and keep away from my sin food. 4. Yes they have been helpful. 5. Just keep doing what your doing! If helps so much. Thanks! Beverly

I need to work on my logging in everyday. I've done it but just barely. My kids are starting school on Wednesday so it's been a few rough days trying to get a workout in. But I know once they start I'll get back into my routine. On a more positive note on my cheat day Saturday I was having my sin food, Cheetos, my daughter…

I'm Beverly from Riverbank,CA. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. My favorite sin food is Cheetos puffs (and ice cream).

I weigh over that and I fast walk for .5 miles then jog for a 1 mile @ 5.2 MPH. When I first started I was doing 1 mile then I went up to 2 miles a day for 3-4 days a week. It feels great and I haven't had an injuries because of it. As long as you feel great and you don't have any pain afterwards I say go for it. Just make…

Both! :blushing: Depends on the situation and time of day :wink:

That is awesome that there are so many people that are choosing to be healthy. I started on March 28, 2011 and I have lost 65 pounds and have another 59 to go. This is a great site to use and there are wonderful people here to support you. Good luck to all of you that are starting your new journey and to those that have…

I think when you are still under 18 it is wrong because you are technically not an adult. I am ok with it once they are adults, you can do whatever you want with whomever you want. I don't think the age differences are bad it all comes down to maturity levels. I met my husband when I was 27 and he was 48. I didn't know how…

Congrats! You are doing awesome, keep it up! :-)

You look great, awesome work! I can't wait until I can post my pictures too! :smile:

The HRM is always more accurate then MFP, it calculates your info. - weight, height, gender, HR, etc. MFP only goes by your weight, height, gender and gives you an average calorie burn for your weight. When I started using my HRM my calories were less than what MFP had in its database. It helps to have a more accurate…

I have had a few NSV's lately & one just happened yesterday. We were having one of our family pool parties and I decided that I was going to go out & buy myself a new swimsuit, my suit from last year was falling off when I was swimming (another NSV) I picked a suit 4 sizes smaller than my old one & it fit. My family…

When we go out of town or have parties here at our house I do plan ahead, I know which foods I can have at fast food places and have read pretty much everything I can about which foods are better than others. When I am at home I make sure I have small portion sizes and not go over board like I used to. I try and make sure…

FOR THUSDAY: I work out first thing in the morning so I really don't feel like eating most of the time I have a cup of green tea and water. Sometimes if I feel a little hungry I eat a cup of dry cereal. After I have my breakfast, usually wheat bread w/ fat free cream cheese, tomatoes & fat free turkey slices (like a…

I try to keep busy or surf on the computer when I feel like I am eating because I am bored. But sometimes when I have late night craving I eat some pretzels with Laughing Cow Light Swiss Chesse, if I want something salty. For my sweet tooth I have a Yoplait Fat Free Yogurt or Fat Free Rainbow Sherbert, they are so good.…

It is very hard for me to drink water, I try very hard every day. But like someone posted earlier I can drink it better when I use a straw and it is filled with ice cold water. I bought a reuseable cup with a straw and this does help me. I cannot drink it room temp, I feel nauseous, not sure if its just me or if that is…

as for the veggies, I am going to have a sandwich topped with lots of veggies and tonight for dinner I'm gonna make a tomato cucumber salad. I do the same things with my snack, I buy the snack bags and write the calories/fat on them. This helps me a lot. I also buy the 100 calorie snack packs too. :smile:

My low cal breakfast is the liquid eggs or egg whites w/tomatoes & ketchup, 2 wheat toast w/ fat free cream chesse & tomatoes & green tea. Sometimes I subsitute oatmeal for the egg. This is what I have most days but there are times that I have leftovers from the night before.

I prefer to work out in the morning, I do a Zumba DVD's every morning. I feel so much better afterwards. I have more energy and not as tired. Then I have the rest of the day with my kids, 2 & 4, who are very energetic. This weekend I am going to start getting up earlier and work out before everyone gets up, this is my NEW…

I love Zumba too, I do the DVD's at home they were so easy to learn. I do it 5 days a week, mix up the DVD's. I have lost 26lbs since I started on March 28. I want to get the NEW DVD's since I only have the older ones. It is so much fun.

I use the fat free ranch or fat free Italian dressing on some of my veggies, but I love to put lemon and a little bit of salt on cucumbers and tomatoes. I LOVE TOMATOES!!

I think this is so true! The inside of our house is painted baby blue & our plates, bowls & cups are all blue. I think all of this helps me to say under my calories, it helps keep me calm and helps me with my stress/emotional eating. and I stay under my calories by eating soups & it helps to plan my meals first thing in…

Congrats, that is so awesome :-) Keep up the great work!

I think you can do it!! I was able to loose 22 lbs in a month, hard work and a complete change in diet & of course I do Zumba 5 days a week. I know if you set your mind & body to it you can accomplish anything. Good Luck :-)

Congrats!! That is GREAT!!!! You inspire me, I can't wait until I can do that happy dance too!!! :flowerforyou:

if it is the loaf, it is already in the database under "Generic (Walmart) - Angel Food Cake" I also bought this and cut it into 5 equal pieces.

I wasn't a breakfast eater either, until I started I really had no weight loss at all. For the past 2 weeks I have been exercising in the mornings and then having breakfast. Lowfat and low calorie and I think it is working, I have lost 13 lbs in these 2 weeks. As for the eating or not eating before a workout, I would guess…

I have been here for just a few weeks and am also trying to lose 100+ lbs. You have done great so far, keep up the good work. I am so excited that hopefully soon I will be where you are too. :smile:

I have 2 children and stay at home, I wish that I had started this sooner but I realized that I would have had the same problem as you, my kids are 14, almost 4 & 2. By time time my husband leaves for work at 6:30, my son for school at 7am, my two little ones are up and ready to go. As they are eating breakfast I do Zumba…
